Soroka and the Rude Boys blow away Marlins in 16-4 fireworks show

The Braves were very rude on Friday night. The Marlins came in with the best pitching performance in MLB for the month of June, but they will be ending the month a full 0.4 fWAR lower than where they started, with serious damage done to the lines of three of the four Miami pitchers that appeared in this game. Beyond that, though, the romp turned comical: the Braves hit so many homers in this one that the Friday night fireworks caused some sort of lighting issue that forced a long game delay in the seventh. Things then became absurd as the Braves hit another homer, and a bunch of smoke wafted over the field.
